Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16)
teaches us that all that we have, apart from our sin, is received from
God as a gift of His grace. We must remember this when, like Job, we are
going through hard times. We don’t have the right to expect everything
to be going great all the time. When we are enjoying the Lord’s
blessing, we must never forget that this is not something we have
earned. It’s the blessing of His grace, the blessing which has been
given to us by the Lord. The more we come to know His blessing, the more
we will have confidence to say, “I call on You, O God, for You will
answer me” (Psalm 17:6).
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
